October Chit Chat Thread for Blue Swayers. All welcome!!

[Plum3]

So I just need to cry it out here guys.
I am an emotional wreck this morning. I cried and cried myself to sleep last night so much I could not eat dinner and I can't eat this morning We received a phone call from our bank yesterday, our mortgage is going up $70 a week as of January. Not what we need right now, we are kind of toughing it out as it is as dh left work to study this year. I only get relief work as I can not work full time due to a medical condition (vascular problems) so income is no very little right now. I am now not sure if we can afford another baby and I am heartbroken. I am stressed and worried what if we can not afford to keep our home, we have only been here two years and worked so damn hard to get this far

So sorry to hear things are tough right now. I hope your family can pull through it!

OMG Ive only just told a few close friends and my family about my bfp & already Ive had, "I think its a boy", "Omg I feel sorry for hubby if he gets another girl", "Obviously you want a boy this time, right?"

Cant people just shut up and say "wow thats awsome, congratulations, without all the other bullshit comments

Its fine with all you guys wishing me a boy, cause only you guys know Ive been swaying.

OMG so annoying.
Yeah it would be nice if they could say it in a nice way.
Why can't people just say congratulations.
What did you say to them?

Hey y'all, good morning! So we DTD again last night--finally got a +opk. Trying to decide when/if to do it again? We did it the 24th, then the 26th (last night) and I *think* I will O tonight/tomorrow (hard to say, but I usually get 24hr of + opks and I think I O the next day?). I am hoping the egg waits until tomorrow to come out so we are in a boy moon sign.

Wow, already with the comments? People need to keep their traps shut! WHy does everyone need to share their opinion??

I was just looking at the thread on IG. It is all anecdotal, so who knows how accurate anyway, but she claims 69% accuracy on moon signs. She only did about 150 though, so not a huge sample.

WHo knows. This whole thing is SO NERVE WRACKING! I don't know if I can take it.

PLEASE don't stress about this moon sign thing. My girls were conceived in boy signs. AND I want to add that the psychics (well, I looked up the one on ebay) have a big disclaimer at the bottom that it is just for entertainment. Personally, I believe that some people are very intuitive, etc, but I think that it is human nature to want a soothsayer to predict our future....I mean, who wouldn't want to know their future???? And MOST of these people pray on that human instinct and make a very good living off of it. Trust me, I used to live in New Orleans, and there are millions of palm and tarot card readers all over the place there and people just throw money at them for a "glimpse" into their future.

Just don't take that too seriously! This moon/astrological stuff may indeed be true, but we will never know, so it is better, IMHO, to base our sways and take seriously the more scientifically based factors like ewcm and diet and such.

Oh no, honey, I am SO SORRY you guys are having to deal with this! I know how you feel, I worry that we can't afford another kid also. Money stress is so hard. Do you think you could call your mortgage lender and see if they can give you a break since your DH is a student? I have to think there is something you can do to not have this kind of payment increase! I am by no means an expert in any of this, but maybe another one of the girls has some advice.....I would give it a shot though....if you call them and plead your case, or go in to the bank if you can. I am SO SORRY!!!!!

[LolaInLove]

Your so RIGHT!!! I've seen that over there AND it's horrible. (I know a girl who was talking like that) She said about another girl did some things wrong that's why her sway didn't work and IMO not just mine, but everyone else's too she had GREAT sway.

That would make me so mad! And how awful, as if our emotions aren't strung out all over the place anyway with swaying and being pregnant! No body FAILS. A beautiful child is not a FAIL. And you can sway your ass off and still get the opposite so it really is just a gamble, not a guarantee, and it is horrible to think someone would be accusatory about you not doing something right. Good grief!!!! Another reason why I hated IG.

love being a mummy- like Flava said and experienced they could be quite cruel if you didn't get your desired gender. They viciously picked through the sway and harassed people about what you did wrong. I found IG when I had gd after dd3, in the 3+ years I hung out there I saw some pretty disgraceful behavior. Even Tamara grilled me relentlessly when I posted about being unable to change my pH. Jokes on her, I got a boy ignoring my minerals, ions and moon phase, eating forbidden foods, no drinks, minimal sups, having a prime girl pH and having accidentally perfect timing. At the end of the day there's a certain amount of luck involved regardless of your efforts.

YESSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I could not agree more with all of this, especially the bold part Jen, and also makes me want to give a big HAHA to the mean IGers.
